[MOS] Lester Wolfe Workshop December 18, 2012

[Zina M Queen]

Lester Wolfe Workshop in Laser Biomedicine 

“Optofluidics:  moving things with light

              at the nanoscale” 


The rise of nanotechnology has led to a great need to move nanoscaled objects in a reliable and non-invasive manner. As light has a wavelength in nanometers it is ideally suited for this task. This workshop will cover examples of this ground-breaking technology applied to nanoparticles, microfluidics, neutrophil migration, and neuroscience.
